SEA RAY 550: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The SeaRay L550 Fly is a new addition to the luxury L-Class lineup, representing the pinnacle of SeaRay's craftsmanship and design. This model builds upon the premium features of its predecessors, offering an elegant and functional yacht with a single-level layout that enhances social interaction and accessibility. The vessel combines refined aesthetics with practical innovations, making it a standout in SeaRay's portfolio.

Exterior Design and Flybridge

The yacht's flybridge is a central feature, accessed via stairs on the port side of the cockpit with conveniently placed grab handles. It serves as a primary social area, featuring a J-shaped settee to starboard with advanced padding and ergonomically angled seat backs for enhanced comfort. This seating wraps around a large teak pedestal table with expandable leaves resting on stainless rails. The front seat back is adjustable to create convertible seating, and storage is available beneath the footrest. Forward lounges include adjustable leg supports, padded armrests, and comfortable seat backs. Behind the helm, an entertainment center is equipped with a sink, grill, stainless steel grab handle, and a refrigerated drawer. The main seating area is protected by a standard hardtop with an opening sunroof and an aft extendable awning, which can be upgraded to an extended hardtop featuring full enclosure and climate control with air conditioning and heating.

Cockpit and Swim Platform

The swim platform is finished in teak and includes a starboard hatch concealing a reboarding ladder with an integrated handhold. Central rails facilitate the attachment of a tender or personal watercraft cradle. The platform hydraulically extends by four feet six inches to aid in launching or creating a private beach, revealing flush-mounted stairs for easy access when lowered. The transom offers generous, well-organized storage with stainless steel surrounds and struts holding the hatch open. The cockpit features a large L-shaped settee around a teak triangular pedestal table that can collapse for additional space. Teak decking includes a draining section at the front to prevent water ingress into the salon. Storage is located above a cockpit refrigerator beneath the flybridge stairs. Boarding doors on both sides of the cockpit provide convenient access to the side decks, which are equipped with grab handles and 32-inch high side rails for safety. The bow area serves as an additional entertainment venue, with triangular opposing seating arranged around a side-mounted teak pedestal table. Forward seat backs can be cleverly stored by folding down, creating a versatile and comfortable gathering space. Stereo controls, USB, and MP3 inputs are accessible nearby, and mounts for a bimini provide sun protection.

Interior Living Spaces

Entry to the interior is through full-width opaque marine stainless steel sliding doors with a flush threshold, offering seamless transition and an open atmosphere with six feet five inches of overhead clearance and ample glass. The galley is centrally located between the salon and cockpit, allowing the chef to remain engaged with guests. It features quartered walnut woodwork with matching grains, wide plank wood flooring, and optional high gloss cherry finishes. The counters are Silestone quartz, available in light or dark tones, and include a two-burner induction stove, a single basin sink with contemporary fixtures, and a cutting board cover. Storage solutions include pullout compartments, a foot-activated trash receptacle slider, bottle storage, and overhead cabinets with acrylic doors. A wine chiller is positioned to starboard, alongside open counter space for buffet serving and a cabinet with pullout glassware storage. Entertainment components include a TV that rises from the counter and a satellite receiver. The salon offers a serene environment with an L-shaped Toscana upholstered sofa and twin ultra-suede ottomans that double as serving trays. The sofa converts to a queen bed with storage, while opposing seating is provided by a two-person loveseat. The interior features meticulous fit and finish, including veneered corners with matching grains, decorative metal trim, and Poseidon blinds with a tension system for ease of use. The overhead incorporates vinyl panels with concealed indirect lighting and centrally located heat and air conditioning vents for even climate control.

Private Accommodations

Accessed via a center-mounted companionway, the lower deck houses the private staterooms. The full-beam master stateroom aft features a corner-mounted island queen berth with six feet four inches of overhead clearance. It includes a hall-side window with an opening port light, open counter space, a small refrigerator, drawer storage, a settee, and a glass-doored hanging locker. Entertainment is provided by a 40-inch TV, with additional storage including a cedar hanging locker and a side-by-side washer and dryer. Concealed storage beneath the berth includes an owner's safe. Luxury touches include upholstered window valances, recessed indirect lighting, and a backlit decorative aluminum artwork headboard. The master head features a pocket door, vanity with Silestone quartz countertop, vessel sink, walk-in shower with acrylic door and teak decking, and lighted mirrored cabinetry. The guest stateroom to starboard offers twin berths that convert into a large single bed by sliding over the center night table, with natural light from hall-side windows and decorative art. A 24-inch TV and a mirrored closet complete the space. The day head adjacent to the guest stateroom includes a circular shower stall and tiled floor. Forward, the VIP stateroom has a queen island berth flanked by hall-side windows, upholstered sideboards, shelves, power outlets, USB ports, a mirrored closet, a 32-inch TV, and private access to the day head.

Conclusion

The SeaRay L550 Fly exemplifies a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality. Its thoughtfully designed single-level layout fosters social engagement, while the meticulous fit and finish reflect SeaRay's commitment to quality. From the luxurious flybridge and versatile exterior spaces to the refined interior accommodations, this yacht stands as SeaRay's finest offering to date, delivering an exceptional experience both on and off the water.
